Poached Egg over Mixed Root Hash

I massacred my egg a bit- when I put it into the poach pod the yolk separated, so it’s a bit of a mess. After the tian and the napoleons the other day, I had a couple extra slices of sweet potato, red skinned, and butternut squash to use up, so I thought a [...]

Strawberry Pavlovas with Blueberry Coulis

My mum makes the best pavlovas for Sunday Dinner deserts.  They are a bit of a commitment though- it takes an hour of low cooking in the oven, and then if you want  to avoid cracks, leave them in the oven until it has properly cooled (3 + hours).  And don’t even think about making [...]

Tomato and Root Vegetable Tian

Inspiration for this post comes from Sauce and Sensibility.  I almost didn’t want to mention that because her’s is so much prettier than mine.  It tasted good, though! We had sweet potatoes, turnips, and red skinned potatoes to use up, so I decided to make a root veggie tian with tomato, swiss cheese, and white [...]

Going Overboard with the Napoleons

Another Napoleon Post!!  This could make a nice casserole, maybe with some kale sandwiched between the squash layers.  My butternut squash are all frilly thanks to my wavy knife.  If you’ve got some fresh herbs, like parsley, throw them in with the goat cheese, too.

Nori Napoleons

I have some Nori to use up and figured I would try and incorporate it into some snack food.  I have plenty of hummus, which surprisingly goes quite well with Nori!  Add whatever sliced veggies you want- and aybe a slice of feta or halloumi (!!).

This is as Close as it’s Going to Get to Bento.

Do you see the nori cut into the shape of a heart??? That’s as ornate as I could get, a far cry from the bento boxes currently gracing foodgawker with their presence.  A for effort.
I wanted to do my sushi bowl tonight- sort of like a free form sushi consisting of sushi rice mixed with [...]

Stuffed Globe Artichokes

Hotel Meal # 2, all microwavable! I never understood the concept of stuffing artichokes- it seemed fruitless to me. What’s the point of going through the trouble of such a fiddley process if you are only going to eat the ends of the leaves. After tonight, I understood. The cheese melts, [...]

Work Week: Hotel Room Meals

I made those latkes yesterday, I don’t think I could manage them in a hotel room, despite  Jon’s proclamations about nifty hotel room cooking techniques.  This week though, I have come prepared.  I cooked a large batch of sushi rice, and marinated tofu overnight in a miso-chipotle-honey sauce, which I baked this morning.
So the meal [...]
